Chapter Summaries

Li Moxun planned to use his skills and strength to become a teacher at Shrek Academy, then sold Marrow Cleansing Pills at an auction in Skysea City to gain resources. The bidding soared as the Tang Sect tried to recruit the pills’ creator, but Li Moxun remained determined to avoid joining any organization and pursue immortality and godhood.

• Li Moxun watched as bidders offered up to forty-five million Federal Coins and the Skysea City Tang Sect offered to hire the creator as its exclusive alchemist.
• Li Moxun rejected the prospect of joining the Tang Sect or Spirit Pagoda and focused on gathering resources to pursue immortality and godhood.

Li Moxun bought a Ten Thousand Year Forest Wolf Spirit Bone at auction, then was confronted by a Tang Sect elder who intended to kill him. Rather than let the elder attack, Li Moxun destroyed his own avatar and disappeared in a burst of foam.

• Li Moxun watched the pills and Soul Bones sell before bidding 12 million Federal Coin for the Ten Thousand Year Forest Wolf Spirit Bone.

• After the auction ended, Li Moxun sensed killing intent and faced an aged Tang Sect elder from Skysea City.
• The elder trapped the area with a special Soul Tool, revealed his affiliation, and lunged at Li Moxun with a short spear.
• Li Moxun snapped his avatar's neck, causing its body to dissolve into foam as the elder stared in disbelief.

Li Moxun fed the Forest Wolf Spirit Bone to Erii, then created clone Zero and studied beginner forging techniques with her. After three days, he mastered the basics, rented a forging room, and prepared to make his first forging attempts.

• Li Moxun gave Erii the Forest Wolf Spirit Bone, which she devoured and used to recover.
• Li Moxun discussed whether Erii might later consume A-Tai’s chest Soul Bone to help her awaken.
• Li Moxun spent 1,500 points of spiritual power creating the blonde-haired clone Zero, who studied forging alongside him.
• After three days of study, Li Moxun mastered basic forging techniques and rented a forging room at the Blacksmith Association.
• Li Moxun entered the room and focused on the forging table and tools, ready to begin forging.

• After night fell, a young figure appeared outside the Tang Sect's Tianhai City branch, an arms factory on the outskirts.

Li Moxun attacked the Tang Sect’s Tianhai City base with a destructive high-level Spirit Word, summoning a Black Sun that devoured weapons and swallowed incoming attacks. As Zero infiltrated the base, Li Moxun faced the elder who had killed him before and unleashed the Black Sun’s full power.

• An aged elder who had killed Li Moxun appeared, and Li Moxun cut his wrist to strengthen the Black Sun with his blood.
• The elder attacked with six spear strikes, but Li Moxun charged him, and the Black Sun’s suction dragged the elder into Li Moxun.

Zero stole the branch’s remaining resources before disappearing, while Li Moxun planned to keep using her abilities as he accelerated his cultivation.

• Li Moxun’s clone confirmed that Spirit Words could affect a seven-ring powerhouse, then merged into the Black Sun and unleashed a powerful suction that pulled in Tang Sect members and equipment.
• Zero took the Tang Sect’s collections and Soul Guidance Storage Bag, then killed the old man and cut down the remaining defenders with a wind attack.
• A middle-aged Tang Sect man clashed with Zero, who disintegrated and vanished; the Black Sun then consumed the old man, and the middle-aged man reported the disaster.
• Li Moxun awakened in Heaven Dou City, decided to continue using Zero, and planned to spend the stolen resources on more pills to speed up his cultivation.

After three months of intensive cultivation and blacksmithing in Heaven Dou City, Li Moxun returned to Eastsea Academy with his Soul Power at level 38. Wu Zhangkong welcomed him back without prying into his reasons for leaving, while Li Moxun prepared to resume his studies before eventually going to Shrek Academy.

Li Moxun accepted an ordinary Level 4 Blacksmith medal after Mu Chen withheld the benefits owed to a quasi-Level 5 Blacksmith, then returned to Eastsea Academy planning revenge. Meanwhile, Mu Chen praised Tang Wulin's forging and offered to arrange quasi-Level 5 benefits before Tang Wulin pursued his assessment.

• Mu Chen gave Li Moxun an ordinary Level 4 Blacksmith medal instead of recognizing his quasi-Level 5 status, and Li Moxun thanked him before leaving.

• As Li Moxun began to break apart, he recognized Leng Yaozhu and sent a flaming wheel of light at her, shattering his fifth-grade Soul Tool.

Li Moxun reflected on how Lord Flame’s Spirit Words had controlled Mu Chen’s fire-based Martial Soul before cultivating. In Eastsea City, Leng Yaozhu examined the mysterious attacker’s strange power and wondered how he had escaped death, while Mu Chen thanked her for saving Tang Wulin and Mu Xi.
